New footage from 'SPECTRE' explores the engaging and intricate stunt and special effect sequences cinemagoers can expect from the 24th 007 adventure. As ever the direct, Sam Mendes, and his crew are keen to highlight the do-it-for-real attitude that is a hallmark of the Bond films. Says Mendes: "The ultimate goal is the kind of excitement, visceral excitement, you can only get from live stunts."

"Coming into this film Sam has really upped the ante. We are going to be spread all over the place. We are going to Austria where we have a massive special effects/stunts sequence... We are doing all sorts of things in Mexico, big explosions, buildings collapsing... and then there's Morocco, which was a huge sequence for us. I certainly think it's the biggest explosion I have ever done." - Chris Corbould

SYNOPSISA cryptic message from the past sends James Bond (Daniel Craig) on a rogue mission to Mexico City and eventually Rome, where he meets Lucia Sciarra (Monica Bellucci), the beautiful and forbidden widow of an infamous criminal. Bond infiltrates a secret meeting and uncovers the existence of the sinister organisation known as SPECTRE.

Meanwhile back in London, Max Denbigh (Andrew Scott), the new head of the Centre for National Security, questions Bond's actions and challenges the relevance of MI6, led by M (Ralph Fiennes). Bond covertly enlists Moneypenny (Naomie Harris) and Q (Ben Whishaw) to help him seek out Madeleine Swann (Léa Seydoux), the daughter of his old nemesis Mr White (Jesper Christensen), who may hold the clue to untangling the web of SPECTRE. As the daughter of an assassin, she understands Bond in a way most others cannot.
